These items are what we need to build a story. Let's see what each one is about:
Exposition: During the exposition, information about the characters of a play, its environment, setting, etc. is presented to the reader or the public. It is that information we need to know for a story or a play to make sense.
Rising Action: Here, the events in a play develop and create suspense and tension. Each decision or action relevant to the story will be developed at this stage. It is what precedes climax, therefore it will be all the problems before being solved.
Falling Action: This happens after the story has reached its peak, that is, the climax. During this stage all the problems presented during the story will be solved.
